My begonia almost died when it got here 6 months ago. It dropped all of the lower leaves. Now it looks like a little tree. It has stabilized and it has three more new leaves growing right now. My question is, if I want to cut this back do I need to cut it all the way down? If I did cut it all the way down would it grow back from the base? Where should I cut this so it doesn’t continue to just be a “tree”?
Hey guys, been a while since I posted. Anyways, I’ve been noticing that my Ficus Benjamina has been dropping leaves far more than usual. Here in Australia it’s spring right now, so I don’t think that it’s exactly ‘dropping season or anything. Any advice would GREATLY appreciated! Please help. I’ve been so worried about him it’s bothering my whole family. 😫😭🥀🌴
Please help. The beautiful part of this Thai Monstera is brown.
Advice needed. My Monstera plant has a lot of these rope like stems growing. What are they and do I cut them or let them continue too grow.
I am in desperate need of what can I do for my money tree plant. I don’t think it’s overwatered or underwater each morning when I wake up to check my plants there are leaves that have fallen off turning brown. it gets plenty of sunlight. I don’t want to lose my money tree plants please help.
HELP! It’s turning yellow! I am new to plants. It’s not overwatered or under watered 😩 I did move it from the bedroom to living room but as soon as I seen the yellow I moved it back!
Halp! My Coleus aka Wicked Witch tree has all of a sudden drastically turned. Had this mini tree for about 6 months now with no problems. 1st pic was progress update on Sept 16th & 2nd pic was progress update on Sept 30th with still looking this sad today. Any suggestions?
What’s going on? Left photo is today
‼️ URGENT PLANT HELP NEEDED ‼️ Hello, this is my bonsai tree. I’ve not long brought it from a garden centre. I’ve watered it twice since purchasing. The leaves are very dry and crispy. If I touch one it can easily fall off. Any care tips and reasons why it’s doing this? Many thanks 🙏
Can someone tell me what’s wrong with my airplant? I got it a couple weeks ago and it was browning but then it started getting green, which was good! But now one of the stems is almost black and some stems are falling off of the base very easily. I soak it in water every 1-2 weeks and make sure to spray it once a week. I also shake it off every time I put water on it. Is there no luck?
I have a large Norfolk pine that is dropping lots of generally healthy lower branches. It is in an east facing window several feet away. I am running a humidifier and room is 50+%. Looking it up it looks like the light might not be bright enough? I can put it in a different room with brighter light but I can’t give it that much humidity. Any suggestions?
Clear sap on money tree? It is sticky. I repot her like a month ago and she's been kinda droopy since. She was also patient 0 of the seasonal fungal gnat attack. I only just now got them under control so I imagine she is not happy from that either. No leaf yellowing, browning, or drop. She just kinda seems tired. Leaves won't get big but she's throwing out a lot of new stuff. The sap has predated her depression. Today I learned it was coming from her. She's always had little random sticky spots on her leaves here and there. I thought maybe my roommate dropped a sticky drink and it splashed on her and I was just perpetually finding residue. But I cleaned her fully recently and this is the first time I have seen full on droplets on her leaves and stems.
Does anyone know the cause of this?
I just found both thrips and spider mites in my very dense indoor garden. I’m only a teenager, so all of my plants are in the same room. I have 30 plants very close together, and I feel completely hopeless at saving them, since I know how thrips spread and reproduce. Is it possible saving my collection or should I completely start over?🥲 I’ve had my plants for 6+ years and would be devastated if I had to lose them. Another factor which makes this even harder is the fact that I live every other week at my mom’s, and every other week at my dad’s. I can’t keep an eye on my plants consistentaly. To make things even worse, I have thrips infestations at both places. Thrips have been a nightmare I’ve been dreading. And now I have them PLUS spider mites. I am already completely drained, and I don’t know how to keep treating them (possibly for months even). I feel like all odds are against me. If you’ve had thrips and spider mites at the same time - is it possible to get rid of? And how??! Please help me!!! I am panicking😖
A client of mine gave me this plant to save. Do you think it can be saved? Any helpful advice would be lovely. Thanks!
Don't mind the lack of light, it's not usually like that, but I don't know what to do about my aloe vera. This is a picture from a little bit ago and it is dropping in this photo and a LOT more now. Any suggestions?
I need help with identifying what this is that my poor cherry tomatoes is experiencing! These white spots just appeared about a week ago and now they are spreading so fast.
Ugh! Is this a fungus?
Are these spots normal for the week? I don’t see any sign of spider mites. Is it just burnt?
My bonsai is looking a bit faded? I’ve been watering as per the schedule but not sure if it’s sitting in too much light or why it’s now very light green as opposed to the dark green it was when I got it 😢 any guidance?
